Panthers' Brandon Montour: Two points Tuesday
Montour scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
It's the fifth multi-point performance in the last eight games for the blueliner, who has erupted for two goals and 11 points over that stretch. Montour has taken over from Aaron Ekblad as the Panthers' most dangerous threat on the back end, and the 28-year-old has shattered his previous career highs with 13 goals and 60 points through 69 games on the season.

Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Two-point effort in Philly
Reinhart scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
He helped set up Brandon Montour in the second period before tickling twine himself in the third. Reinhart extended his point streak to six games in the process, a stretch in which the 27-year-old has notched six goals and nine points. He needs only three more tallies to reach the 30-goal plateau for the second straight campaign.

Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Two helpers in Tuesday's loss
Barkov recorded two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
The 27-year-old center extended his point streak to eight games with another strong performance, and Barkov has piled up two goals and 13 points over that stretch. The surge has carried him up to 18 goals and 63 points through 57 games on the season, and Florida will need him to stay healthy over the final weeks if the team is going to lock up a playoff spot.

Panthers' Alex Lyon: Rough night in Philly
Lyon turned aside 18 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net. The second period was especially tough for Lyon as he made his first NHL start since late January, as he gave up four goals on only 11 shots during the frame. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Spencer Knight (personal) will play again this season, but with the Panthers fighting to stay in the playoff picture, Lyon isn't likely to see much work behind Sergei Bobrovsky -- Florida has only one more back-to-back set left on its schedule, March 29-30 in Toronto and Montreal.

Duclair missed Tuesday's game versus the Flyers due to an illness, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bennett (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Flyers.
Bennett is day-to-day after leaving Monday's 5-2 win over Detroit midway through the third period. He has generated 16 goals, 40 points, 192 shots on net and 150 hits in 63 contests this campaign. Anton Lundell could move up to take Bennett's spot on the second line.

Lyon will guard the road goal Tuesday against Philadelphia, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.
Lyon has permitted 23 goals on 203 shots in six NHL appearances this season en route to a 3-2-1 record. This will be his first contest with the Panthers since a 37-save performance in a 4-3 overtime win over Boston on Jan. 28. The Flyers sit 30th in the league this campaign with 2.61 goals per game.

Panthers' Givani Smith: Activated off LTIR
Smith (face) has been activated off long-term injured reserve ahead of Tuesday night's game versus the Flyers, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.
At this point, it isn't clear if Smith will play Tuesday, but if he does, look for him to slot into a bottom-six role against Philadelphia. He's picked up four points while averaging 7:08 of ice time through 24 contests this campaign.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Earns third straight win
Bobrovsky saved 20 of 22 shots in a 5-2 victory over Detroit on Monday.
Bobrovsky allowed a goal on just four shots in the first period and another marker on only six shots in the third, but the Red Wings ultimately didn't challenge him often. Florida gave the 34-year-old more than enough offensive support to hand him his sixth victory over his last seven starts. He improved to 24-17-3 with a 2.98 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 47 games this season. Bobrovsky has appeared in each of Florida's last 13 outings, but the Panthers are set to play again Tuesday in Philadelphia, so he might finally get a breather.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Contributes game-winning goal
Forsling found the back of the net in Florida's 5-2 win over Detroit on Monday.
Forsling set career highs in 2021-22 with 10 goals and 37 points in 71 contests, and he's in a strong position to surpass them this season with 10 markers and 35 points through 70 appearances. The 26-year-old endured a seven-game scoring drought from Feb. 24-March 11, but he's bounced back with two goals in his last three outings. Forsling's latest marker came midway through the second period, and it proved to be the game-winner, his third such tally of the season.

Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Extends point streak to five games
Verhaeghe netted two goals in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Red Wings.
Verhaeghe found the back of the net early in the first period to put Florida up 2-0 and added a second marker while the Panthers had a man advantage in the third. That's pushed him up to 36 goals and 63 points in 69 contests this season, including 12 power-play points. Verhaeghe is on a five-game scoring streak, contributing four goals and eight points in that span.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Gets three points Monday
Tkachuk provided a goal and two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over Detroit.
Even by his high standards, Tkachuk is going through a special stretch with five goals and 14 points over his last five outings. He scored the opening goal Monday, and his second assist was recorded on the power play. Tkachuk is up to 33 goals and 95 points in 67 games this season, including 31 points with the man advantage. The 25-year-old's just nine points away from his career high, which he set in 2021-22.

Panthers' Eric Staal: Nets goal vs. Red Wings
Staal scored a goal in Florida's 5-2 victory over Detroit on Monday.
Staal has been held off the scoresheet only once in his last four games, providing a goal and two assists in that span. Overall in 2022-23 though, he's been limited to 13 goals and 25 points in 60 appearances. The 38-year-old's prime is well behind him and at this stage of his career, Florida uses him in a bottom-six capacity. Entering Monday's action, Staal was averaging a career-low 13:47 of ice time this season.

He has permitted 23 goals on 203 shots at the NHL level this season en route to a 3-2-1 record. Lyon could start this week with the Panthers set to visit Detroit on Monday and play in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
